What's your take on the other way around? But then that exists via FreeBSD
ports. A number of people have so many great things to say about the
FreeBSD kernel.

While I agree with you that a significant number of applications are going
this way, my system doesn't seem to agree. Although that's probably
because I don't use GNOME or KDE, but instead use XFce and as little of
them GNOME apps as I can manage.
Or maybe I don't know how to check. What I'm doing now is running top,
then sorting by memory, and looking at the RSS column. Is this correct?

Oh my bukol. I'll install StarOffice 5.2 and see how it fares on my end. I
just synchronized with sid (the unofficial name of the unstable tree of
Debian) and am happy with the versions I see. Hehehe. But no, StarOffice
5.2 doesn't have a Debian package. There's a project that hopes to make
OpenOffice Debian packages, though. From what I've read on the mailing
list, that's one hell of a HUGE suite of applications. It looks like bloat
bloat bloat again. Sigh. :(
